100th anniversary of Tunguska explosion

100 years ago today, a massive explosion occurred over the Tunguska river in Russia. It is widely believed to have been a meteorite exploding over the area, and had it happened over a settled area, would have been catastrophic in loss of life. As it was, it happened in a region so remote that it took years for people to discover that it had even happened.
